| Title Proper | Demonstration of the benefits of aggregation in an analytic task |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Kajdasz, James E |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Described herein is an easily done exercise that demonstrates the benefits of aggregated analysis. It might be employed by instructors of intelligence analysis as an exercise in the classroom, or by the intelligence practitioners seeking some “hands on” experience with something they have heard of, but have not personally worked with.
Aggregated analysis refers to the taking of a large number of independent assessments and mathematically aggregating them to form a single assessment. This process does not include brainstorming, for example, where individuals actively interact with each other while forming the group assessment. |
